@MagicSpell No, not anymore. She'd join her dad and me every couple of months for par 3 course before kids -- 5 years ago. My wife hasn't left our property since before the lockdown in the SF Bay Area... almost 2 months ago now. And to provide more context, I took our 2-year old in her little...

I cite all this logic and more to her, but she contends it's an unnecessary added risk, however small. It is hard to rebut because at the end of the day, yes, it is riskier than staying home at the house and it is definitely not necessary in her opinion. I do have a net in the backyard I use...

Anyone else in the situation where your S.O. won't let you play golf right now? Our local courses opened back up this week but my wife said if I go play golf I might as well not come home. She is particularly sensitive to all things germs and very intense about not taking unnecessary risks. We...

i'm also having a problem rotating through with my right side. as I approach impact my right side goes up instead of continues to rotate down and through. I'm trying to imagine skipping a stone or doing a slap shot in ice hockey, but for some reason my body doesn't naturally do the movement that...

Face view: DTL: Shout-out to Shawn Clement videos. He helped clear my head and think about swinging this club thing in a direction rather than how to hit a golf ball. In drills without a ball I imagined I was bashing a sledgehammer through a wall and my body just kind of knew what to do. I...

Pardon the typo in the subject..currently holding my 11 day old (second) daughter in my arms. So it's been years since I had the courage to post a swing vid here. Driver slow motion down the line: 9i 2 swings full speed https://youtu.be/5rk5sb-vY98 Let me know what you think. I'm prone to...

Game Golf recently (?) released a new $99 product, "Game Golf Tags", which leverages NFC tagging for inputting strokes "automatically" to it's free Android App. So now you can keep your phone in your pocket and still use the Game Golf Android app for tracking. They are now calling the...

gotta laugh at a scorecard like this. The first and only time I've ever gone under par. And in several previous attempts I've gone 9/9 greens, which tells you something about my putting normally. By the way, high winds here at this course on most days - so it's not super easy to go too low. But...

I think I have the most severe type of yips, the kind that makes it feel like an electric current charges up during the peak of the putting backswing, then fires a shock to the hands as you try to make contact with the ball. Results in devastating slap pushes, not a good look. This only...

Hi all, Sorry for the huge wall of text here but I feel without proper context there's no way one could provide a proper answer. And I just have to vent. i'm a lefty. and a golf junkie... and was on the cusp of flying past my goals of breaking 80 on a non-muni challenging course. I play to...

Note: I'm left-handed. For about 6 months I've had pain in my right glute. It used to only show up toward the end of a round when walking. Now I feel it more during the follow through and finish position and it's showing up as early as the first or second hole. The pain is a mild 2 - 3 out of...

I inconsistently suffer from the yips on the putting green. I'm nearing 30 years old and am on the cusp of being a very decent golfer. Yesterday on a easy par 70 muni, shot a 78. Strung together a ton of good shots in a row and recovered nicely from the rough often and hit 61% GIR (thanks...

Something weird is happening with my hips and spine angle, I think, and perhaps swaying or leaning forward -- or just flat out over swinging. Today I tried Shawn Clement one legged and feet together drills, which includes throwing your backside out during the takeaway to counter balance and...

Two years after my first video, I'm STILL taking it back too far to the inside I think. And probably too flat of a swing too. Probably 100 other things wrong, but hopefully more things right than before I started lessons.

my mind is blown. double hip clearance!! ha, what the heck. ErkjeJiNWrI
